WW,

The hilt on your dha is a typical Burmese, three-section design. The blade, however, is most likely to have been made by the HuSa people in the Achang area of southern Yunnan. While I have not seen the Mauser stamp before, they do have blades with a Winchester rifle or a Colt revolver stamp. Hard to judge the age of this piece. Perhaps WWII era. Nice find. We have other threads showing HuSa dha and blade stamps. Please post a full length picture of the dha after you receive it.

Regards,

Ian
